01 Anytown
The Anytown distribution system is a hypothetical system created by Tom Walski et al. in 1987 as part of a Battle of the Networks competition aimed at improving analysis methods. The system has a total demand of 9.2 MGD, three reservoirs, one pump station, and 22 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).

02 Water Sensor Network 1
The Water Sensor Network 1 system was a hypothetical network created by Avi Ostfield et al. in 2008 as part of a Battle of the Networks aimed to optimize water network design. The system has a total system demand of 1.3 MGD, one reservoir, two pump stations, two tanks, and 23.3 miles of pipe. It is classified as transmission dense-loop by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and Hoagland et al. (2015).

03 Water Sensor Network 2
The Water Sensor Network 2 system is based on a real-world system and was used by Avi Ostfield et al. in 2008 as part of a Battle of the Networks to optimize design. The system has a total demand of 24 MGD, two reservoirs, four pumps, two tanks, and 6050 km of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).

04 Calibration Networks
The Calibration Network system serves the hypothetical town C-town and was created by Avi Ostfield et al. in 2011 as part of a Battle of the Networks focused on model calibration. The system has one reservoir, 11 pumps, 7 tanks, and 56.7 kilometers of pipe. It is classified as distribution hybrid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).

05 Long Term Improvement
The Long Term Improvement system serves the hypothetical town D-town and was created by Marchi et al. in 2013 as part of a Battle of the Networks focused on long term improvement plans that account for greenhouse gas emissions. The system has one reservoir, 11 pumps, 7 tanks, and 60.4 kilometers of pipe. It is classified as distribution sparse-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).

06 Demand Management Areas
The Demand Management Areas system is based on a real-world system and was presented by Saldarriga et al. in 2016 as part of a Battle of the Networks to optimize district metering areas. The system has a total demand of 3110 CMD, five reservoirs, three pumps, 17 tanks, and 872 km of pipe. It is classified as distribution sparse-grid by Hwang & Lansey 92017) and gridded by Hoagland et al. (2015).
Systems in this section have been used in a Battle of the Water Networks competition. Each competition provides a system and challenges engineers from across academia, consulting, and utilities to come up with a solution to a defined problem or goal. This can range from model calibration to incremental improvement plans.
